NEWS CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, APRIL 16, 2015 Board seeks power to decide By ANNA PRICE A special meeting has been called by the Hagley Ferrymead Community Board to take decisionmaking back to the community on the proposal for a $180,000 Levi’s beachside skate park in Sumner. The extraordinary meeting will be held on May 5 in the seaside suburb, six weeks after the public submissions deadline in midMarch. The widely-hailed plan for a skatepark on reserve land on The Esplanade was to be on the ordinary board agenda yesterday (April 15) – but the board was informed it did not have the delegated authority to make a decision. Now, zone councillor Paul Lons- dale said a report to the city council will request that decisionmaking power be delegated to the board. ‘‘If successful, we will hold a special meeting in Sumner for the skate park decision,’’ he said. ‘‘One of the reasons we were holding the meeting in Sumner was due to the considerable interest in the decision.’’ Before a final decision, deputations for and against the proposed skate park will be heard. America’s denim brand Levi’s chose Sumner as the Australasian location for its next skate project for beginners to intermediates, at no cost to the council, should the council provide the land for it and cover maintenance. It will be the fifth skate park the company has financed as part Christchurch skater Aaron Kingi, 21, competes in the first Washington Bowl Jam held at the newly-upgraded Washington Way Skate Park in Christchurch. of its global initiative. A Levi’s spokesman believed it could play a positive role in the post-quake rejuvenation of the city and its community. The proposed site is the grassed strip opposite the corner of The Esplanade and Marriner St, near the public toilets. The initiative was applauded by the council but raised concerns from nearby residents about poss- ible noise and associations that skate parks could attract. Some said they did not oppose skate parks per se but the location posed an issue in this case. Skateboarders said the ocean front location would be perfect ‘‘as surfing and skating have always gone hand-in-hand’’. If the project is approved, construction could begin as early as August.
